It's Our Turn: A tough bite to chew 
Due to an over population of roosters, we have been forced to, must I say it…butcher them. Frito the rooster became the main ingredient of a lovely chicken soup my husband prepared.

Column - Cain could cause Obama sleepless nights
Herman Cain said that if he becomes president, he will bring "humor" to the White House.
Yes, I believe he would.
Every time I hear Cain's voice coming from the living-room TV, I drop what I'm doing and rush into the room to watch him and listen to him.

Column - It wasn't Kansas anymore; it was a blast
People never believe me when I tell them I attended a "midget convention" once upon a time.
If only I'd clipped and saved the news story to prove it.
One day in the early 1990s, someone at the Alexandria Echo Press told me he'd just heard there was a midget convention going on at the Holiday Inn.
I didn't believe it, but I grabbed my reporter's bag and headed out.

Column - Higher education: Time wasted or well spent?
For decades now, we have urged our children to go to college, to get a good education, and that would lead to a good job and a successful life. Today’s education systems and the state of our economy make it painfully obvious that this is not a tried and true formula any longer.

Column - Democracy is rising from the streets
These "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations happening nationwide are proof that this country's democracy is terribly crippled, to the point of dysfunction and even maybe - in the not too distant future - cataclysmic breakdown.

Have you ever been scared of a cow? Or heard a princess say, “I vant to suck your blood?” Today’s Halloween costumes and celebrations have no origin in the roots of All Hallows Eve.

It's Our Turn: Am I from 'around here' yet?
At what point can I officially say, “I’m from Alexandria”?

Column - Godard's brilliance in films lost its dazzle
If there's anything worse than a French intellectual wannabe, it's a French intellectual wannabe with a movie camera.
Case in point: movie director Jean-Luc Godard.
He is hailed as one of the top 10 directors of all time. In my opinion, Godard can be fascinating, but mostly he's over-rated. At one time, his films were fresh and exciting. Now, sad to say, most of them are staler than day-old bread.
